Sporcle

Have some time to kill?  Spend it on Sporcle!

Sporcle is the world’s greatest time sink – it’s filled with trivia quizzes on every topic imaginable.  I have wasted a lot of time on this website.  Although I like to think of it as educating myself since sometimes I work in a geography quiz or something.

Here’s one I did earlier:  Can you name the children’s literature foursomes?  I am so embarrassed I couldn’t name all 4 names from The Westing Game.  It’s one of my favorite books!

Another really fun one is Books by Their Covers!  There are also A TON of Harry Potter quizzes.  Some of my favorite quizzes are the ones with song snippets like 90s music without lyrics.

Enjoy!  Feel free to let me know about good quizzes, so I can take them.  🙂

My New Favorite Thing*

*I still love my last Favorite Thing though, so if you see any more visual representations of song lyrics, please tell me!

Do you remember the Google commercial during the Super Bowl that told a story through searching?  There was one about studying abroad in France, falling in love, etc.  Yesterday, I saw this blog that discussed a few Google Search Stories for fictional characters!  Hello, greatest idea ever!!  Apparently Sesame Street released two Google Search Stories for Bert and the Cookie Monster.

Here’s Bert’s story.

Awesome, right?

Then I found a Harry Potter one created by the VlogBrothers.

And THEN I realized…you can create your own.  So. Much. Fun.  Here’s the one I did.  Enjoy!  🙂

Have fun creating your own!  Don’t forget to share in the comments!
